Age UK members in Solihull were recently welcomed to McCarthy Stone’s Wheatley Place Retirement Living Plus development to host their annual Christmas party celebration.
Age UK got to enjoy Wheatley Place’s stylish communal lounge and Bistro and McCarthy Stone also put on a two-course meal for them to indulge in. They also managed to finish off their festive celebrations with a glass or two of fizz.
David Meachem, Divisional Sales Director for McCarthy Stone said: “For many of us, Christmas is a time to come together and spend time with others, and we wanted to bring that Christmas spirit to the members at Age UK.
“It was wonderful to welcome Age UK Solihull to Wheatley Place and to see everyone having such a good time. The event was a roaring success, and we look forward to opening our doors for even more events in the future.”
Amanda, Clubs and Activities Coordinator, Age UK Solihull (AUKS) commented: “We were struggling to find suitable venues, and within our budget, to hold our Christmas parties for our club clients this year. Not only did McCarthy Stone offer their new development to host the parties, they also generously covered the whole cost.
“Our clients have had the most amazing time ever, we cannot thank McCarthy Stone enough – how will we top it next year! As a local charity we are so grateful to them for helping to make Christmas a little brighter for many older Solihull residents who often find the festive season lonelier than ever.”
Declan Fishwick, Marketing Manager at McCarthy Stone, said: “The event was a huge success and none of it would have been possible without the help of Elior who catered for the event and supplied staff free of charge to assist with food preparation and serving. Our thanks also go to Bidfood who gave a generous donation towards the cost of the food.”
Exclusively for the over-70s, Wheatley Place offers a collection of beautifully-finished, low maintenance, apartments which provide all the home comforts you could ever need, with a choice of social and leisure activities right on your doorstep.
